The Dating Game

"I like you."-he gasped
"Sorry, I don't like you."-she replied
"But we could be perfect for each other."-he said in a desperate voice  
"Sorry I like someone else." She said
"So who is someone else?"-he asked cynically  
"Oh some great guy and his name is Brat Pitt."-she said with a smile
"Well thats weird, he is married"-he replied confused.
"Yeah, I know.  But he really likes me." She replied.  
"But hey we could be friends right?"-he said.
"Sure"-she gasped.

Such is the game of date, mate and fate.  
We try again and again, yet we are disappointed more often than not.
There is never an agreement, there is always someone else.
There is never a union of souls, there is only wondering.

So in this dating game, we go round and round.
We are never happy with what we have.
We want what is not easily reached. We want what is wild and free.
Perhaps someday we'll find what we are looking for.

Life makes things go round and round.  What goes around comes around.
When one rejects someone, it is only a matter of time before one gets rejected.
You are never good enough. You lack looks or personality; or so we say. 
Enough already! Stop the madness of this merry go round.  It is making me dizzy.

Why can't I be content? Why can't everyone be happy with what they can reach?
Perhaps because it is too easy or too common.  We need impossible goals.
Aim high, reach nothing.  Reach for the stars get burned. 
And so the game continues...round and round we go!
